Mac N Cheese Bites

These Mac N Cheese bites are super easy and cheap to make.  I  made these for a football party a week ago and they were a huge hit!!  I adapted the recipe from an old Women's Day magazine I found in the breakroom at work.

Ingredients:

1 cup elbow macaroni noodles
1/2 stick of butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mozzerlla or montery jack cheese
1 cup of whole milk
1 egg
2 mini muffin tins


Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Boil the macaroni noodles as directed from the box.  Drain and set aside.

Put 1/2 stick of butter into warm sauce pan.  Add flour and whisk for 2-3 minutes or until flour is browned.  Slowly add milk and continue whisking for 2-3 minutes.  Milk should become thick.  Remove from heat and add cheese and egg.  Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni noodles and mix; let sit for 5 minutes. 

Generously grease the mini muffin tins. (You can use butter or non cooking spray).  Use tablespoon to spoon mixture into mini muffin tins.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 18-20 minutes.  Let bites cool.  Use plastic knife or spoon to remove mac n cheese bites. 

Makes about 24.
